Touchscreen BoomboxPC

Touchscreen BoomboxPC
BoomboxPC is a project that combines an old Fujitsu touchscreen tablet PC and an older Hitachi boombox. The custom GUI makes it easy to use as a digital, harddrive-based boombox. It is also still a fully functioning tablet PC.

Hitachi TRK-8200HR + Fujitsu Stylistic 1200 Color Tablet PC
running a version of Windows 98 with MediaCar as the default mp3 interface with custom skin for the 480x640 portrait display
20g harddrive
pcmcia LAN, and WiFi
internal webcam
4 USB
custom desktop to keep original aesthetics

the powersupply for the tablet is internal, and wired into the outlet on the boombox, so you only have to plug in the standard AC wire for both units to get power. the tablet also has a battery for complete portablity.

functional as both PC and boombox. radio works, but the indicator had to be removed. the built-in mics will feed into the tablet, along with line-in and possibly radio so i can record radio to the harddrive, if i ever wanted to. the line-out of the tablet goes to the line-in of the boombox. the headphone jack on the boombox is unchanged, and the amplified external speaker jacks on the boombox had to be removed to make room for the power switch, standby and restart switches. oversized cpu heatsink and 50mm case cooling fan installed to keep it all cool.
